Search & Seizure class was a great review and update. Chris is a great presenter and is extensive knowledgeable.

Chris was a great instructor. Not only did he clearly have a passion for what he was teaching, but he was able to explain it in easily understandable terminology. He made the class interesting, and was clearly well versed in the law. I would recommend others take his course!

Blue to Gold has really set a near unattainable bar for every law enforcement class I’ll ever take in the future. Instructor McFarlin is easily one of the best instructors I’ve ever had (including my college education). He made complicated concepts, simple. He was very approachable, invited questions, made it ok to not know an answer (or say a wrong one), but always eager to follow up with the correct answer, and more importantly, eager to explain why. No matter how much experience everyone in the class had, Instructor McFarlin expertly dismantled barriers and potential egos allowing for a very welcoming classroom experience. This was also accomplished by his level of confidence in his knowledge of the material. Excellent, excellent class and instruction.

Chris was great. I learned a lot and really appreciate him sharing his knowledge. Looking forward to future trainings.

Excellent classes all week. I learned a lot. Great structure and was not bored

Great presentations, I was around all 4 days of training and never felt Chris had a lack of knowledge. Very well versed and awesome to see the legal / lawyer standpoint. Did not feel as though he was reading from the slides only. Great job all around!

Professional and provided information dealing with out specific state of Kansas.

Thorough training from a presenter with real life experience as well as an impressive resume. His subject matter knowledge and presentation style is engaging and informative.

Lots of valuable material. As a newer officer it helps get in depth explanations on how the law works.

GREAT MATERIAL. Learned a lot and cant wait to use it in the field.

Pretty darn good refresher for myself as an investigator. This training was certainly geared for Road Patrol but a lot of material could be used in Investigations also.

Took the Advanced Traffic Stop class in October, This class took me through case law primary related to taking the traffic stop further. I believe that every Law Enforcement Officer should take this class because learning case law gives you valuable guidelines to becoming a great L.E.O.

The three day search and seizure course was informative and entertaining.

Chris is responsive and knowledgeable and a good presenter. Thanks again for your time.

Solid class, stayed on topic throughout the class! He presented legality issues well. Would recommend this short training block to all those wearing a badge and gun for a living, regardless of rank or time on the job!

Great class about Advanced Search Warrants, very informative and great tips to make the muddy water clearer!

Lt. McFarlin taught Advanced Search Warrants at my PD and I found the class very easy to comprehend and enjoyable. Lt.

I have enjoyed every Blue to Gold class I have taken and highly recommend them to my colleagues.

I took the class on K9 case law. Chris was very knowledgeable on the topic. He’s very well spoken and would recommend this class not to just K9 handlers but to any officer regardless of rank.

Great instruction! If you work in NJ, I would highly recommend taking this class. Chirs did a great job presenting material that correlates directly to NJ Case Law.

Chris was very knowledgeable on the topic, I was only in one day of the tree day course and wish I had been signed up for more. The search and seizure section was well organized and very informative. Chris was able to answer all questions we had on the subject.

Thank you!!!! For sending Chris as the instructor for the classes. He was OUTSTANDING!!!! A credit to law enforcement. In all my years of bringing training to Passaic County, I have to say he is one of the best. Brilliant and engaging!

Great instructor. Very professional and knowledgeable. Constant interaction with the students and mixing real life with the subject made the class outstanding.

Chris was very well spoken and informed on the topics he was teaching. Made it an easy and fun learning environment. Will definitely take courses he is teaching again.

Chris was very relatable and knowledgeable! As far as a law class, this was one of the best classes I have attended. Chris being both a lawyer and an officer was very unique and provided a different perspective on the subject matter.

While this was a refresher course for me, there were still things I learned. I liked the way the instructor used examples which is good for clarification on issues.

Chris was able to break things down into terms and diagrams that I had not seen before. The open dialogue also allowed for multiple questions on a wide range of topics. Chris is down to earth and his knowledge is second to none! I would gladly take other courses regardless of the topic, if he was the instructor.

Your class was the best and most informative I have ever been to! Keep doing what you are doing!

I just completed the Blue to Gold Traffic Stop and Arrest, Search, and Seizure course at my agency. What an absolutely phenomenonal course. I have learned more in the past two days than I did in my Police Academy. The course content was extremely applicable to our daily tasks on the street. I highly recommend these courses and look forward to taking many more in the near future! Thank you Chris McFarlin!

Three days of absolutely great training. Mr. McFarlin is obviously very knowledgeable with case law and has exceptional skills with presenting the material. The class was very engaged due to how everything was explained. Good job Blue to Gold!
